Abstract: Regardless of the particular fuel cycle applied in a nuclear power generation system, large quantities of radioactive fission products are produced, which form the major type of radioactive waste generated in nuclear power production. lt is called high-level waste, and since in the course of fuel reprocessing the bulk of fission products are finally comprised in a nitric acid solution, the goal of their further treatment for final disposal is to solidify these high-level radioactive liquid wastes: the subject of this seminar. The fissionproduct solutions contain 98 to 99 percent of the radioactivity in all radioactive waste streams generated, although they are relatively small in volume. The chemistry and process engineering for high-level liquid waste solidificaiton, considered by the public as still unsolved, encompasses one of the crucial items of nuclear power utilization. Many scientific and technical meetings have been held on this subject in the last years, addressing experts as well as laymen. Organizers are striving for a large audience in order to distribute all the informations presented at the meetings as broad as possible. In many cases an element of importance is the immediate public release of bad or good news presented at the meeting. A good public response in the press may satisfy sometimes more easily the efforts of an organizer than a calm and thorough scientific dispute between experts. We have deliberately chosen the latter procedure. There has been neither any recording of discussion remarks nor any sort of public relation activities during the whole seminar in order to stimulate an unconstrained exchange of opinion. Instead, emphasis has been put on a combination of hard work and leisure activities during the seminar, stimulating informal discussion between colleagues. [...]
